Another storm headed our way (approachething if you will) for rain chances and high mountain snow for the second half of the weekend. Anywhere from a tenth of an inch to perhaps a half inch of rain for valley locations. Snow confined to the highest elevations with up to six inches possible at Ski Valley. Summerhaven may see some snow before the storm scedaddels, but not expecting any real accumulations.
Sunny today with a pleasant high in the low 70s. A few clouds about this afternoon/evening for possible sunset enhancement and a low in the mid 40s tomorrow morning.
Partly cloudy tomorrow low 70s with a slight chance of showers tomorrow night.
Light rain in our forecast (half the calories of our regular rain) and what do you know? It’s light raining this morning! An upper level low currently off the central California coast is pulling copious amounts of moisture northward. As a result we have clouds, and yes, light rain. The storm will miss us well to the north and the skies will not be cloudy all day. Mostly sunny by this afternoon with some showers about and a high today in the low 70s.
Partly cloudy tonight with a few showers and a low near 50ish.
Partly cloudy tomorrow and a bit cooler with a high in the upper 60s. Becoming partly sunny Friday as our next storm approacheth and pleasant with a high in the low 70s. Mostly cloudy Saturday low 70s. A chance for rain Saturday night and Sunday with a high Sunday in the upper 60s. Lingering showers perhaps on Monday mid 60s. Sunny Tuesday mid 60s. Enjoy!
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Not everywhere you go, but kinda. In the stores for sure. Probably in your house too if you put up the tree and stuff. The weather not as much unless you live in Summerhaven. Perhaps up to 6 inches of new snow from our next storm. Rain by tomorrow for us lowlanders with primetime being tomorrow night into Thursday morning.
Increasing clouds today as our next storm approacheth. High in the low 70s.
A slight chance of a sprinkle or light shower tonight. Really not worth mentioning. (oops, too late) Low in the low 50s.
Mostly cloudy tomorrow with a chance for rain low 70s. Partly cloudy by Thursday with a slight chance for a lingering shower in the morning mid 60s. Mostly sunny Friday and Saturday low 70s. Mostly cloudy Sunday with a chance for showers upper 60s. Partly sunny Monday low 60s. Enjoy!
December already! Just seems like yesterday it was November. Crazy times. December 1st is the 1sy day of Winter, Methodologically speaking, so welcome to Winter. Kinda feels like it out there this morning, but that will change for a few days as high pressure is building in before our next storm approacheth. Actually two storms. One for Wednesday/Thursday. The one after that for the weekend. Everybody loves a parade!
Sunny today with a high in the upper 60s.
Clear tonight low 40s.
Mostly sunny tomorrow low 70s. More clouds tomorrow night into Tuesday. Tuesday’s high mid 70s. A 50% chance for rain Wednesday near 70ish. 20% Thursday mid 60s. Mostly cloudy Friday 70. Slight chance for showers Saturday near 70. Enjoy!
Here comes a cold front! If it hits you like it did us here in Phoenix at 4:00 a.m., look out! I swear a couple of trees were gonna blow down! They didn’t, but wow, that was exciting! Good thing standing in long lines at 4:00 a.m. for Black Friday isn’t a thing anymore. (is it?) Either way, strong winds ahead of the front and as it passes this morning. Still expecting valley rain and massive mountain snow today. .5″ to 1.5″ inches of rain possible. 1 to 2 feet of snow above 7,000 feet (I’m looking at you Summerhaven) and 3 feet or so at Ski Valley. Exciting times!
FLASH FLOOD WATCH in effect until 5:00 this evening and a WIND ADVISORY until 2:00 this afternoon, so be advised, it’s windy. Wind gusts over 30 mph with a 100% chance of rain. Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day would be proud. (silly ol’ bear) Today’s high in the upper 50s.
Clearing skies by tonight if not sooner with perhaps a lingering shower and a low in the upper 30s.
Cool tomorrow after that chilly start (mmm chili) and a high in the upper 50s.
Sunny Sunday upper 60s. Low 70s Monday. Partly sunny Tuesday low 70s. A 20% chance for showers Wednesday near 70ish. 30% Thursday upper 60s. Enjoy!
A major Winter storm is forming and will be making a Thanksgiving visit. Always nice to have guests drop by for a festive feast! It’s a cold storm and the main headline will be the massive snow totals above 7,000 feet. Could see 3 feet of snow at Ski Valley!!! Winds gusting 50 to 60 mph in the high country could lead to white out conditions at times. Not to mention falling trees to go with their sideways snow. If it weren’t for Rudolph, Thanksgiving might be cancelled. (sorry. I got ahead of myself there) Honorable mention weather headline goes to Cochise County. Lots of moisture being pulled northward ahead of the system. A cold front approacheth and should move through today. The combination could bring heavy rain east of Tucson. Just be aware if you are heading that way. Today’s aforementioned front will chill us out a bit in Tucson with a high about 10 degrees cooler than yesterday. A few showers out there this morning that should end by 8:00 a.m., so there’s that.
Increasing clouds tonight with a low near 40ish.
Mostly cloudy with a few showers around tomorrow upper 60s. Cloudy tomorrow night and Thanksgiving with a 50% chance for rain. Thursday’s high in the mid 60s.
Prime time for our storm should be Thursday night into Friday morning. A WINTER STORM WATCH for Summerhaven starting at 6:00 p.m. Thursday until Midnight Friday night. Summerhaven could see half a foot to a foot of snow along with those 50-60 mph winds.
Looks like a good soaking for us lowlanders. Blustery Thursday night and Friday with rain, heavy at times, possible. Valley locations looking for an inch to an inch and a half of rain. Amazon Prime is looking good for Black Friday! Nothing like shopping in the comfort of your own home while others hydroplane to Best Buy for that 75″ TV on sale for $400. (wait. Is that a thing?) Friday’s high in the upper 50s.
The rain will mainly be on the wane Saturday becoming mostly sunny with a high in the upper 50s. A slow warming trend Sunday and Monday with sunshine and highs mid to upper 60s respectively. Stay tuned. We’ll keep you updated as the storm gets closer. What else do I have to do at 5:00 in the morning? 🙂
Over the wash and past the Saguaro to Grandmother’s house we go! A lot to be thankful for as we hunt and gather our Turkey with all the fixin’s from the meat and produce section of Costco. After a nearly picture perfect weekend our Winter storm approacheth, and as it does our chances of rain and mountain snow increasingeth. The Thanksgiving storm should stick around for Thursday’s feast, Friday’s shopping frenzy, and into the leftovers weekend. Looks like an inch or two of rain for most valley locations before the storm bids us adieu. Snow levels crashing down to near 4,000 feet by Friday morning! Could see 5″ to 15″ between 5,000 and 7,000 feet and 15″ to 30″ above that! Significant mountain snow indeed! Here’s your forecast from the kids table:
Considerable high cloudiness continues today. Call it partly sunny with a high near 72ish.
Mostly cloudy tonight with a slight chance for showers after midnight and a low in the upper 40s.
Slight chance for showers tomorrow morning otherwise partly cloudy and a high in the low 60s.
Mostly cloudy with a 20% chance for showers Turkey Eve day upper 60s. Scattered showers Thanksgiving day with a high in the mid 60s. Heavy rain possible Thursday night mid 40s. Rain likely Friday upper 50s. Isolated showers Saturday mid 50s. Sunny Sunday near 60ish. Stay tuned as the developing storm situation develops…
Unsettled weather heading our way for the Thanksgiving holiday which may be unsettling for some. Quoting the National Weather Service, “significant mountain snow” is possible from this next storm! Skiers in the western U.S. are stoked! Travelers maybe less so, especially those traversing the high country. While it may be hard to stop a Trane, it’s even more difficult to stop a storm. Might as well enjoy!
While we wait for our guest to arrive we will continue with the variable high cloudiness. Mostly sunny today and lovely with a high in the mid 70s.
More clouds tonight with a low in the upper 40s. Call it partly sunny tomorrow near 70ish. Mostly sunny Tuesday mid 60s.
Showers increasing as our storm approacheth Tuesday night and Wednesday with a high in the upper 60s.
Thanksgiving looks blustery with a 50% chance for showers and breezy. High in the mid 60s.
Showers likely Friday and quite cool with snow levels crashing. 70% chance for valley rain and a high in the mid 50s.
Partly sunny with leftover showers on Saturday upper 60s. Good times ahead! For which I am already thankful 🙂
It’s the calm before the storms. Thanksgiving is looking wet, but not quite cool enough for cold turkey in my estimation. Still. Snow levels dropping by next weekend, but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it (you know, to stay warm).
High clouds from time to time today to filter the sunshine and perhaps provide sunrise and sunset enhancement! Very nice this afternoon with a high near 70ish. Also. Tour de Tucson, so you’ll probably be barricaded in your domicile anyway lest you get stuck at a random intersection for 20 minutes. Don’t ask me how I know that 🙂
Considerable high cloudiness tonight with a low in the mid 40s.
Then it starts to get interesting! Still a lot of details up in the air (see what I did there?), but the gist is this… The low currently to our southwest that is throwing high clouds our way will weaken and move through the area Tuesday night and Wednesday with a 20% to 30% chance for showers respectively. Wednesday’s high in the upper 60s.
Then a stronger and colder system carves a deep trough across the western United States like your Momma carves a turkey. The low will initially drop into southern California before it heads our way spreading rain, mountain snow, and Black Friday deals on umbrellas across the region. Mostly cloudy and breezy on Thanksgiving as a result with a 40% chance for showers and a high in the upper 60s.
A 50% chance for showers and breezy on Friday with a high in the mid 60s. Rain chances and falling snow levels in the offing (what is an offing? asking for a friend) next weekend, but that is beyond the 7 day purview of this forecast, so we’ll all just have to take a wait and see attitude. And of course, Stay Tuned!
